Chapter 28: Not Even In Your Dreams
Just as Su Li was about to greet them, the two little fellows ran towards the courtyard as if she was some ferocious beast.
He Erhu even turned back to look at her a few times to confirm that she was walking home before running into the courtyard.
Su Li shook her head helplessly. What an awkward little fellow. He clearly wanted to get close to her, but he had a completely different expression on his face.
When she returned home, Su Li was surprised to see He Yufeng busy in the courtyard.
Su Li was a little puzzled. Didn\'t he say that he was going hunting in the mountains last night?
When she went out in the morning, He Yufeng had already packed all the hunting tools and looked like he was about to set off. Could it be that something had gone wrong?
Su Li asked the question in her heart, "Didn\'t you say that you were going hunting today? Why are you still at home?"
He Yufeng explained, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. It doesn\'t matter if it\'s just a two day difference."
Actually, he was worried that Su Li would forget to cook for the children when she went to the market. When the time came, the two little fellows would be hungry. As for Su Li asking Chen Xiang to help look after the children, he felt that it was unreliable. After all, their relationship with Chen Xiang\'s family was not good. He would not expect others to help look after the children.
"Oh!"
Su Li didn\'t know what He Yufeng was thinking. She washed her hands and started cooking. There was no time to braise the pig intestines, so she could only leave the task after dinner.
Why don\'t I make double-cooked pork and stir-fry wild vegetables for dinner?
When He Yufeng was packing his things, he realized that Su Li had bought a lot of rice and white flour. She had even bought new bowls and chopsticks at home. He could not help but frown.
Where did Su Li\'s money come from? Could it be that she had not spent all the money she had taken from him in the past? However, that was unlikely!
He thought of the soap that Su Li had been tossing around a few days ago. Could it be the money earned from selling soap?
No matter where the money came from, it was definitely not possible to spend it like this. Life was already so difficult. How could he eat white rice and noodles every day!
He Yufeng decided to have a good talk with Su Li.
When Su Li returned from picking wild vegetables, she saw He Yufeng standing in the courtyard with a cold expression, as if he was waiting for someone.
Su Li walked past He Yufeng with the wild vegetables. She didn\'t care if he was waiting for anyone or not. In any case, he wasn\'t waiting for her!
He Yufeng, who had been ignored, took a deep breath and walked to Su Li\'s side.
"Su Li..."
"Here, wash the wild vegetables!"
Su Li thought that he was looking for work and stuffed the wild vegetables that had yet to be washed into his hand.
He Yufeng was speechless.
After Su Li\'s processing, a delicious dinner was freshly prepared.
He Yufeng looked at the hot food on the table and fell into a daze. These few days had been like a dream for so many years. No, in the past, he didn\'t even dare to imagine such a day in his dreams.
Although his marriage with Su Li was an accident, the raw rice had already been cooked. In addition, she had also given birth to two children. He had once wanted to live a good life with Su Li, but Su Li did not think so. She had never cared about the children or the family. She even felt that they were a burden.
Su Li waved her hand in front of He Yufeng and said, "Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and eat."
He Yufeng came back to his senses and said, "Don\'t spend money recklessly in the future. Leave some for the winter."
Su Li picked up some food with her chopsticks. "I\'m not messing around. Those are what our family needs. Why don\'t you take a look at what the children look like? How can I not nourish them?"
At the mention of the children, He Yufeng fell silent.
He Dahu and He Erhu buried their heads in their food and didn\'t dare to make a sound, afraid that they would be the ones being scolded later.
"By the way, I don\'t have enough molds. Since you\'re not in a hurry to go up the mountain, help me make another hundred molds. I\'m in a hurry to use them."
The host was not very popular in the village. No, it could be said that she was unpopular, so she really did not know who to ask for help. Coincidentally, He Yufeng did not go out, which solved her big problem.
He Yufeng frowned. "Why do you need so many molds?"
He had already made thirty molds two days ago. Wasn\'t that enough?
Was this woman planning to eat molds as food?
"Making soap, of course. I sold all the soap I made previously, and they even reserved 50 of them. They have to deliver them within seven days, so hurry up and make me molds. Making more will definitely be useful in the future."
"The rice and meat you ate today were bought from selling soap, so don\'t think about slacking off and not working."
After eating her food, he had to work. It was useless even if he spat it out!
The next day, before Su Li woke up, she heard clanking sounds in the courtyard.
When she opened the door, it was He Yufeng making molds in the courtyard.
Although he did not agree or refuse last night, he was a diligent person who got up early in the morning to work.
It took He Yufeng two days to complete the 100 molds. After the molds were completed, he went into the mountains to hunt.
Before he left, he even repeatedly reminded Su Li to take good care of the children, afraid that she would abuse the children like before and not feed them.
Su Li waved her hand impatiently. "Got it. You\'re not annoyed from talking but I\'m already tired of listening. Don\'t worry, I\'ll definitely take good care of the children."
Looking at He Yufeng\'s worried expression, those who didn\'t know better would think that she was a vicious stepmother!
"Father, when are you coming back?" When He Dahu and He Erhu saw that He Yufeng was about to leave, they grabbed his thigh out of sadness.
He Yufeng rubbed their heads and comforted them. "I\'ll go earn money for you. Listen to your mother at home, do you hear me?"
"Got it!" The two little guys replied gloomily.
After He Yufeng left, the two little guys\' moods were obviously much lower.
Su Li wanted to walk over and comfort them, but they turned around and went to play in the mud. Su Li shook her head and continued with her work.
There were five more days until the delivery of the soap. Thus she must complete them within these two days.
"It\'s finally done!" Su Li moved her arm.
She had been extremely busy these past two days. When she received the money, she would hire someone to help her. She would be exhausted from working alone!
After dinner, Su Li took a walk outside. When she looked up at the sky, she realized that it was already covered in dark clouds.
There will be rain tonight. Su Li hurriedly returned home and moved all the soap into the house to prevent her hard work from being invalid.
The two little fellows did not need her to coax them at all and went to sleep obediently. After Su Li confirmed that they were asleep, she closed the doors and windows.
Boom!
In the middle of the night, thunder began to rumble in the sky.
The originally dark night was illuminated by lightning.
Su Li opened her eyes and took a look. After confirming that the door and windows were closed, she continued sleeping.
"Sob sob sob, Father, I\'m scared, I\'m scared!"
"Sob sob, Father, where are you? Come back quickly. We are afraid!"
Cries came from next door.
